This is your fault for eating fewer canned peaches. The clingstone variety is bred for canning and not well suited to eating fresh.

My fault? I'm blaming The Presidents of the United States of America.

Millions of peaches, peaches for m̶e̶ no-one -> https://youtu.be/3GCrzjVdmSg

Peaches come from a can. They were put there by a man.

Probably the factory shouldn’t have been downtown, it should have been closer to the farms to minimize transport costs.

In a factory downtown.

I see your hand and raise you.

Weird Al's straight cover. Al should just do an album like that, would be kinda neat.

Also known as Caspar Babypants, the patron saint of children's music!

Why ruin the surprise ;)

i blew up my tv and threw away my paper. i was working up to eating peaches. i'm sorry.

Eating canned stuff seems to be going out of fashion as people realize about the Alzheimer's risk. There are basically no "new" canned food brands. People prefer frozen fruit to canned fruit, especially since frozen has gotten a lot of positive PR lately, e.g. "it's fresher than fresh produce at the supermarket!

How do canned peaches cause Alzheimer’s?

I'm gonna make a guess that it's the long debunked hypothesis that aluminum cookware and cans are linked to Alzheimers.

As it turned out, aluminum poisoning can cause dementia-like symptoms, but you can't get aluminum poisoning from cookware or cans.

Aren't most food cans made of steel, not aluminum?

Food and beverage cans are made of plastics with a metallic wrapper. Don't worry -- I'm sure it's BPA-free!

Many aluminum cans have residual aluminum shavings inside and outside. The manufacturing process isn't perfect.

I've personally noticed shavings multiple times on the lip (especially with cheaper non KO/PEP products). La Croix cans are notorious for this.
